The old year is passing, the new year is coming. To welcome a new year full of prosperity, success and fortune, plant some more green trees in your house to bring more vitality to the space and bring lots of luck to the homeowners. Here are the top 7 “super lucky” ornamental plants for 2024 that readers should consider.

1. Lucky Bamboo

In feng shui, lucky bamboo symbolizes wealth and brings luck and good fortune to the homeowners. It is used as a decorative plant for offices and homes. Lucky bamboo does not grow as tall as other bamboo species, with mature plants usually reaching a height of 30-50cm.

This plant has straight stems with small joints spaced 2-3cm apart. The stems are flexible and can be bent into various shapes.

The number of stems also carries a feng shui meaning:

– 1 stem: Attract wealth and luck.

– 2 stems: Faithfulness in love and marriage.

– 3 stems: Happiness and harmony.

– 4 stems: Increase the wealth attraction of the plant.

– 5 stems: Health and family harmony.

– 8 stems: Wealth and abundance.

– 9 stems: Associated with good luck.

To dispel negative energy in the house, place a lucky bamboo plant on top of the refrigerator, in the kitchen or bathroom, on a beam, or a horizontal bar. If you want to bring luck in studying and career, place the plant in the Knowledge/Study area, on your desk, or in the living room. When placing the plant in the Southeast, avoid placing it near metal objects. The main entrance and living room are also good areas to display lucky bamboo plants.

2. Money Tree

The money tree, also known as the money plant, is one of the most famous plants in feng shui. This plant is also called the money tree because it is believed to bring wealth and prosperity to the homeowners. The leaves of the money tree are green all year round, and each leaf represents one of the five elements, balancing the five elements.

It is believed that if you place this plant in the Southeast corner of your house, your family will never have financial difficulties because the money tree emits a strong source of prosperity. Additionally, the money tree is not harmful to humans or pets, so you can freely plant it indoors without worry.

3. Jade Plant

The jade plant is also a commonly used plant in feng shui to attract wealth for the homeowners. Its leaves are green and round, resembling coins, thick and juicy. The edge of the jade plant turns red when exposed to sunlight.

According to feng shui, the leaves of the jade plant symbolize assets and money. When the plant blooms, it represents wealth and abundance. Therefore, it is often placed at the entrance of shops, at cashier counters, or where money is counted.

Based on the five elements, the jade plant belongs to the “Metal” element, so the suitable directions to place the plant are West and Northwest. Avoid placing the plant in the Southeast direction to prevent conflicts and financial losses.

4. Hibiscus

Hibiscus comes in various colors – white, pink, blue, red – but the red variety is often called the “Hawaiian Heart”. Like other red flowers, the red hibiscus represents love and romance.

According to feng shui, the deep and vibrant color of the hibiscus is believed to attract luck to the homeowners. Research has shown that placing a hibiscus plant in a study or work corner can create a positive and focused environment. The strong vitality and bright colors of this flower are also considered beneficial for luck.

5. Vietnamese Coriander

Vietnamese coriander is a perennial herb with a square-shaped stem, about 40-50cm tall, sometimes taller depending on the soil and planting distance. This herb has a fragrant aroma and is used as a culinary herb in daily meals.

In addition to its culinary uses, Vietnamese coriander is believed to bring wealth and prosperity to the homeowners if planted around the house. Planting Vietnamese coriander can protect the homeowners and attract luck and wealth.

6. Orchid

Orchids represent beauty and love, elegance, unity, and growth. Therefore, orchids are among the favorite flowers for the new year as they bring luck, vitality, and longevity.

Orchids come in a variety of colors, and each color carries a different meaning. Whether you choose orchids for home decoration or as gifts, the colors must be suitable for the destiny of the user. If you have a Metal destiny, yellow orchids or bright colors like white are suitable. Wood is associated with branches and grass, so green orchids are the most appropriate for Wood destiny. Fire is symbolized by fire, so those with a Fire destiny will be suitable for orchids with vibrant colors like purple, orange, and yellow. Those with an Earth destiny should choose two similar colors, yellow and orange, as they are harmonious with the destiny. Those with a Water destiny should choose orchids with light blue, white, and yellow colors, which are compatible with the birth element.

7. Lavender

In addition to its decorative function, lavender is also used for medicinal purposes, food, and essential oils. The characteristic of lavender is its pleasant fragrance. Placing a lavender pot as a potted plant indoors or in a workspace allows the fragrance to waft in the air, bringing relaxation to the homeowners.

According to feng shui, lavender is a sacred plant that connects life and death. Lavender also symbolizes loyalty and gratitude, bringing luck and peace to the homeowners. It is suitable for most destinies. To enhance the positive energy, those with a Fire destiny should place the plant in the Southwest or South direction, while those with a Wood destiny should place it in the East or Southeast direction.
